Abstract Submission

If you would like to give a presentation or show a poster at the conference, you must first submit your abstract for review. Abstracts are due by March 7.

After you submit an abstract, we will send you two emails: one confirming that we have received your submission, and another confirming that we have scheduled you to speak and giving you a preliminary time and topical track. Though we will try to make sure that everyone who wants to present is scheduled for at least one presentation, we reserve the right to reject abstracts due to scheduling constraints if a large number of submissions are received. We also reserve the right to change your preliminary time or track as needed. Everyone who submits an abstract to show a poster will have space in the poster session.

Rules for submission:
  • Abstracts must be in one of the following file formats: Microsoft Word (*.doc), Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf), or plain text (*.txt).
  • Abstracts must be in English. Units must be given in SI (English units may follow in parentheses if desired).
  • Abstracts must be no more than 500 words (not including references). The title should be no more than 10 words.
  • Abstracts must be no longer than one page (including images).
  • File size must be less than 1 MB.
  • The file name should be the last name of one of the presenters followed by their first name, plus a number if you have submitted more than one abstract. (Like this: BarnesDavid.doc, BarnesDavid2.doc)
If any of these rules is not followed, we may ask you to revise your abstract.

To make our lives easier, please use the sample template (Microsoft Word format) provided here. This template also contains content guidelines.

We do not edit abstracts for content. While we will make formatting changes as necessary, your abstract will be printed verbatim exactly as you send it to us. Please make sure you have proofread your submission before you send it.

Use the form below to submit your abstract. If you are having problems with the form, you may send the abstract as an attachment to David Barnes (Technical Chair) at dbarnes@nuc.berkeley.edu. Make sure you include in the body of your email all of the other information requested below.
